How does pride lead to division among Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Pride leads to division by fostering self-righteousness and a lack of humility, which obstructs unity in the body of Christ.

Pride and self-righteousness create barriers to fellowship and harmony among believers. When we elevate ourselves above others, we inherently cultivate an environment ripe for division, as stated in the sermon, where pride insists that we are 'right' and others are 'wrong.' Additionally, self-righteousness breeds an attitude of offense, making it difficult to extend grace. The call for Christians is to recognize the futility of pride and to instead embrace the lowly spirit exemplified by Christ, which unites us in His love and truth. By intentionally practicing humility, we can overcome these divisions and reflect the unity Christ designed for His church.
